Associate Director, Academic Labor Relations

Harvard University · Cambridge, MA · 3 wk ago
HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Company Description, Job Description, Qualifications, Additional Information (Standard Hours/Schedule, Application materials, Visa Sponsorship, Pre-Employment Screening, Work Format Details, Salary Grade and Ranges, Benefits). We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove EEO statement, maybe also "Application materials: Submit a cover letter..." is application instruction, should be removed. Also "Visa Sponsorship Information: Harvard University is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position" is maybe not boilerplate but it's specific info; we can keep? It's not a standard heading; we could fold into a paragraph under Additional Information. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can keep visa sponsorship info as a paragraph. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe company description?), Responsibilities (Job-Specific Responsibilities), Qualifications (Basic Qualifications, Additional Qualifications and Skills), Benefits, Pay (Salary Grade and Ranges), Schedule (Standard Hours/Schedule). Also maybe Work Format Details could be part of Schedule or separate? The instruction says use headings for those specific ones; we can create sections only if content exists. So we will have:

About the role

with company description paragraphs (maybe two paragraphs). Should we include "Why join the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences?" as part of About the role. Yes.

Responsibilities

with
  • list of duties. Need to deduplicate duplicated line: "Serve as the primary Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) point of contact for guidance and interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Harvard Academic Workers - United Auto Workers union (HAW-UAW);" appears twice. Keep only one. We need to preserve all substantive info: list each duty as separate
  • . Let's extract: - Serve as the primary Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) point of contact for guidance and interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement between the University and the Harvard Academic Workers - United Auto Workers union (HAW-UAW); - Assist FAS managers in fulfilling their roles in the grievance process, in coordination with the University’s Office of Labor and Employee Relations and the Office of General Counsel; - Facilitate contract-related disciplinary investigations; - Manage FAS information and data requests to and from HAW, working closely with the Office of Labor and Employee Relations; - Serve as a bargaining team member for any future negotiations of the HAW contract; - Provide guidance and support for contingency planning related to potential labor disruptions; - Support the work of committees and other advisory bodies where HAW representatives may participate or have a contractual interest; - Represent FAS in University-wide committees and forums regarding contract management, including information systems and process enhancements related to academic workers. That's 8 items.

    Qualifications

    maybe split into Basic Qualifications and Additional Qualifications and Skills. Could combine into one section with
      for each? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list qualifications as list items. Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience required - Minimum of 8 years’ relevant work experience Additional Qualifications and Skills: - Experience in higher education preferred - Demonstrated ability in analysis, negotiation, and problem resolution - Extensive knowledge of labor contracts, personnel policies, mediation, and negotiating - Advanced knowledge of federal labor and employment law preferred, including the NLRA, FLSA, FMLA, and ADA - Excellent communication skills We could combine into one list but maybe better to keep as two subheadings? But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we could have Qualifications heading and list both basic and additional as items. Or we could have Skills heading for the additional skills. The instruction says we can use those headings; we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. Thus

        Qualifications

        with
        • items covering all.

          Benefits

          with
          • list of benefits. Benefits list: - Generous paid time off including parental leave - Medical, dental, and vision health insurance coverage starting on day one - Retirement plans with university contributions - Wellbeing and mental health resources - Support for families and caregivers - Professional development opportunities including tuition assistance and reimbursement - Commuter benefits, discounts and campus perks We should not include "Learn more about these and additional benefits on our Benefits & Wellbeing Page." That's maybe a link; could be considered boilerplate? It's not a benefit but a reference; we could drop as it's not substantive benefit detail. Probably drop.

            Pay

            with paragraph about salary grade level 059 and reference to Harvard's Salary Ranges. We should not invent specifics; we can state: "This position is salary grade level 059. See Harvard's Salary Ranges for the corresponding range." That's preserving info.

            Schedule

            with Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per week. Also maybe include Work Format Details? Could be part of Schedule or separate? The instruction says use

            for Schedule heading. We can include the standard hours and maybe note hybrid position details. However the Work Format Details includes hybrid position, location, etc. That's substantive; we could include under Schedule as additional paragraphs. But we must not create a heading for Work Format Details unless we have a specific heading; we could just add paragraphs under Schedule. Thus

            Schedule

            with

            Standard hours: 35 hours per week.

            and

            This is a hybrid position based on campus in Cambridge, MA. Work schedule and location set by department; when not at a Harvard location, employees must work in a Harvard registered state per policy. Certain visa types and funding sources may limit work location.

            We should also include visa sponsorship info? Could be under Additional Information but we don't have a heading for that; we could fold into Schedule or maybe a separate paragraph under Schedule. However visa sponsorship is not about schedule; maybe we could add a brief paragraph under Schedule or under Qualifications? Better to add a separate paragraph under Schedule? Might be misplaced. Perhaps we can add a short paragraph under Schedule about work location and visa sponsorship. Or we could create a generic

            after Schedule for miscellaneous metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

            or drop it." So we can add a short

            after Schedule for visa sponsorship and pre-employment screening etc. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Visa sponsorship: "Harvard University is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position". Pre-Employment Screening: "Identity, Education, Criminal,". Actually the text: "Pre-Employment Screening: Identity, Education, Criminal,Other Information: This is a hybrid position based on campus in Cambridge, MA." Wait there is some weird formatting. Let's parse the original: "Additional Information Standard Hours/Schedule: 35 hours per weekApplication materials: Submit a cover letter in addition to your resume at time of applicationVisa Sponsorship Information: Harvard University is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this positionPre-Employment Screening: Identity, Education, Criminal,Other Information: This is a hybrid position based on campus in Cambridge, MA. Work Format Details This position has been determined by school or unit leaders that some of the duties and responsibilities can be effectively performed at a non-Harvard location. The work schedule and location will be set by the department at its discretion and based upon operational needs. When not working at a Harvard or Harvard-designated location, employees in hybrid positions must work in a Harvard registered state in compliance with the University’s Policy on Employment Outside of Massachusetts. Additional details will be discussed during the interview process. Certain visa types and funding sources may limit work location. Individuals must meet work location sponsorship requirements prior to employment. Salary Grade and Ranges This position is salary grade level 059. Please visit Harvard's Salary Ranges to view the corresponding salary range and related information. Benefits Harvard offers a comprehensive benefits package..." So we have Visa Sponsorship Information, Pre-Employment Screening (Identity, Education, Criminal,). Actually "Pre-Employment Screening: Identity, Education, Criminal," maybe truncated. We'll keep as "Identity, Education, Criminal". Also "Other Information: This is a hybrid position based on campus in Cambridge, MA." Then Work Format Details etc. Thus we need to preserve: Visa Sponsorship, Pre-Employment Screening, Hybrid position details, Work Format Details (including location policy). We'll incorporate these into Schedule section or maybe a separate

            after Schedule. Given we already have Schedule section for hours and hybrid details, we can add Visa Sponsorship and Pre-Employment Screening as separate

            under Schedule or after. Let's structure:

            About the role

            Company description paragraphs...

            Responsibilities

              ...

            Qualifications

              ...

            Benefits

              ...

            Pay

            This position is salary grade level 059. See Harvard's Salary Ranges for the corresponding range.

            Schedule

            Standard hours: 35 hours per week.

            This is a hybrid position based on campus in Cambridge, MA. Work schedule and location set by department; when not at a Harvard location, employees must work in a Harvard registered state per the University’s Policy on Employment Outside of Massachusetts. Certain visa types and funding sources may limit work location.

            Visa sponsorship: Harvard University is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position.

            Pre‑employment screening includes verification of identity, education, and criminal background.

            We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The "Work Format Details" includes that some duties can be performed at non-Harvard location, work schedule and location set by department, etc. We captured that in the hybrid paragraph. Also "Additional details will be discussed during the interview process." That's maybe boilerplate; could drop. "Individuals must meet work location sponsorship requirements prior to employment." That's covered by visa sponsorship note? Could add a sentence: "Individuals must meet work location sponsorship requirements prior to employment." We'll add. Also "Salary Grade and Ranges" we covered. We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We removed application materials line. We removed EEO statement. We removed "Learn more about these and additional benefits on our Benefits & Wellbeing Page." Good. Now output only HTML fragment. Check for duplicate content: We have responsibilities list with 8 items. Ensure we didn't include duplicate line. Check for any missing substantive info: The company description includes two paragraphs: "By working at Harvard University, you join a vibrant community that advances Harvard's world-changing mission in meaningful ways, inspires innovation and collaboration, and builds skills and expertise. We are dedicated to creating a diverse and welcoming environment where everyone can thrive." and "Why join the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences? The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) is the historic heart of Harvard University. It is the home of Harvard’s undergraduate program (Harvard College, founded in 1636) as well
